Without so much as a warning, let alone promotion, One Direction just dropped their latest single "Drag Me Down".

Marking the first time they have made music since Zayn Malik left to make "real music" with Naughty Boy, "Drag Me Down" is available on iTunes. The release in fact comes a day after Malik signed on with RCA to launch his solo career.

The boys had said that following Malik's departure, the band is looking for a reinvention of their collective personality. The song is definitely sounding more mature than their older tracks.

Check out the lyrics of "Drag me Down", One Direction's new single:

I've got fire for a heart, I'm not scared of the darkYou've never seen it look so easyI got a river for a soul and baby you're a bowBaby, you're my only reason

If I didn't have you there would be nothing leftA shell of a man that could never be his bestIf I didn't have you I'd never see the sunYou taught me how to be someone, yeah

All my life you stood by me when no one else was ever behind meAll these lights that can't blind meWith your love, nobody can drag me downAll my life you stood by me when no one else was ever behind meAll these lights that can't blind meWith your love, nobody can drag me down

Nobody, nobodyCan drag me downNobody, nobodyCan drag me down

I've got fire for a heart, I'm not scared of the darkYou've never seen it look so easyI got a river for a soul and baby you're a bowAnd baby you're my only reason

If I didn't have you there would be nothing leftA shell of a man who could never be his bestIf I didn't have you I'd never see the sunYou taught me how to be someone, yeah

All my life you stood by me when no one else was ever behind meAll these lights that can't blind meWith your love, nobody can drag me downBut you're love, nobody can drag me down

All my life you stood by me when no one else was ever behind meAll these lights that can't blind meWith your love, nobody can drag me downAll my life you stood by me when no one else was ever behind meAll these lights that can't blind meWith your love, nobody can drag me down

All my life you stood by me when no one else was ever behind meAll these lights that can't blind meWith your love, nobody can drag me downAll my life you stood by me when no one else was ever behind meAll these lights that can't blind meWith your love, nobody can drag me down
